Beer?

#6 tonight. Quite like this one. 6.8% and the sort of ‘tropical’ hints you get from these US- style hops, rather than being specifically fruited.

I had one of those last night as well, good but I still prefer Jackhammer, Double Punk, and Mr President when it comes to Brewdog.

And on the dark side, the Roaster Coaster stout is one of the finest I've tasted.

Staying on the Brewdog theme, I spied these in Tesco the other day, £20 for roughly eight pints, ding dong!



And finally, continuing the Brewdog theme, I'll be going up there in January for work, installing some new machinery, the last one of our guys who went up left with a 24 tray of Elvis Juice. 😛

Christmas is sorted. Got this lot in a beer auction at the weekend.

Clean, cold refreshment required, so why not a Tusker?!

Where's that tankard from? and how much does it hold?

Where's that tankard from? and how much does it hold?

I got it from an independent gift shop near me but it's made by a company called LSA who sell online, plus they sell through John Lewis although that glass isn't on the JL site. It's all hand blown stuff and (be warned), stupidly expensive... it was a treat to myself. I paid 20 but it's a bit more on their site.

It holds 750ml or a pint and a half.

Ikea do a roughly similar one (which I had before), but it has seams running through the handle where it's been moulded together, and it cuts into your fingers hence my treat to myself.

oooooof that's pricey.

I've got some nice 440ml ones, but fancy a pint version.

I used to have the ikea one but broke it, and it did really cut into your fingers.

@Gunk please look away! This is, and I quote, a "spontaneous ale co-fermented with fresh pressed grape juice." It's actually pretty good.

It's a good night tonight. 😊

Rochefort 10 has to be one of the great beers. At least as good as Westvleteren 12 IMHO.

Great stuff from Neon Raptor. I've enjoyed pretty much everything I've had of theirs.

Yes, they're an impressive little unit, Neon Raptor.

But I've never tried Rochefort 10. I'll have to put it on January's shopping list.

It's good gear, hard to find for me though, the only place I've seen it stocked up here is in Booth's supermarket.

Sorry - been on the wagon for a few days following some low grade medical issues. Hopefully normal service will resume soon.

I've got a 3 bottle selection of these Siren barrel aged Imperial stouts. 13.5%, Helter Skelter with orange and oak.

I have a feeling I may be back to session strength beers by Christmas.
